Good news: Vermilion Parish Basketball Tournament remaining but format may change

The Vermilion Parish principals met on Friday and came up with a possible solution to making the Vermilion Parish basketball tournament better.
The good news is that the tournament will continue, despite rumors that some coaches want to get rid of it.
The principals brought up ideas on how to make it better.
What the coaches did not like is the one and done rule. If you lose in the first round of the tournament, you were out of the tournament. Coaches want to play more games.
A possible idea the principals are looking at is having the parish tournament shorten (three days) and played at two different high schools at the same time. The principals did agree to have a winner’s bracket and a loser’s bracket tournament. It guarantees a team two games.

Two gym idea proposed
There will be a main host school and a secondary gym at another high school.
Example:
VC will be the main host of the parish tournament next year and Kaplan is in 2017.
So, the girls will play at Kaplan on a Thursday and Friday.
At the same time, the boys will play at VC on the same Thursday and Friday.
Then on Saturday, the finals and the consolation finals of the boys and girls games will be held at VC.
In 2017, Kaplan High will be the main host and whatever high school puts on the parish tournament in 2018 will also put on the girls parish tournament on a Thursday and Friday.
